Sorry, I can't see this "working" for stool consumption. Anise --- licorice --- will assist in the control of loose stools, not yum yum ones. Adolph's meat tenderizer, a liquid in a small bottle purchased at any grocery - put on the food will deter this nasty habit - easier than most other remedies. Norma & the critters ----- Original Message ----- From: Peggy <pmick@xxxxxxxxx> I don't know if this works...but I just saw it on another list. Can't hurt to try it, eh? Peggy Try anise seed, 1/4 to 1/2 tsp per meal, every dog. It works, it's natural, the dogs like it. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
